Just in case anyone is wondering, I am still working on the dress as time permits. Unfortunately is not permitting very much :( as I have taken on the opportunity to lecture a tourism class at the local university as well as my full time job. Great opportunity but sewing time is suffering a little.

I am still appliquing bits on to the skirt and have probably done another 15 hours or so....and still it goes on. I think all of the black sections are done now (other than inside the small loops) and am working my way through the gold motifs.

About Me

In the Society for Creative Anachronism I am known as Lady Rose Pennyngton, an English Lady residing in Elizabethan London.
Sixteenth century English and Florentine costume are my main focus areas, and I particularly enjoy the challenge involved in creating garments based on portraits. I have also made garb from other eras as they were required for particular events, and bits and pieces for people as needed.
In the future I intend to kep working towards period authencity and completeness of costume from head to toe. And of course, continuing to have fun costuming :)
